weld on link and coil spring suspension kit designed for the front and rear of the J trucks with common axle option selections in mind. Arms, links, brackets and template or clear dimensions on where to weld or bolt everything on. I would be looking specifically for early frame fitment since there is next to nothing available for them but a semi universal 3 or 4 link setup that could be adapted to an early frame would be workable.

I like the pre bent cage idea as well for those that can't or do not want to invest in a bender, tube notcher, and related tooling. I would want one for a J Truck cab, halo style (front tubes following A Pillar, cross bar at top front windshield frame and rear behind head, maybe even an under dash cross bar).

I think I have heard more than a few requests for metal wide track or just over sized flares from folks.

You do realize Marshall has not replied to this thread in almost a year now?He's a great guy with a great family but most of your ideas require so much specific tooling and research between models I think he moved on to better prospects.

If I'm wrong I will certainly apologize directly to him, but I think a lot of these requests are out of reach for most FSJ parts builders.

Example:Several of us could build JTruck interior cab roll bar kits, but you would need to be able to weld on the back end of things.I would sell like 4 a year.It's not worth my R&D time to do that.40 per year, yea, I would buy more tooling, but I bet 90% of FSJ customers would bail at the cost.

Sadly your correct and business sense is what often kills the idea.I do wish a larger company like MD Juan, who builds all sorts of jeep bodies, could build some steel FSJ widetrac flares.

Steel body parts. I can find fiberglass front fenders, fascia,hood, and rear flares but nothing is available in steel. Maybe replacement cab corners and bed ends by the tail lights. If only these vehicles had the support the big 3 have....wishful thinking i guess
